(b) The enophthalmos was fully corrected 6 months after secondary implantation of RapidSorb. (c and e) CT images showing that the implant did not fully cover the medial wall defect, causing herniation of orbital contents into the ethmoid sinus. (d and f) The explanted titanium mesh was flat and did not conform to the orbital anatomical structure.
